Now a day businesses are considering ethical issues as a terms of administrative compliance to cope with legal environments and following internal organizational rules and regulations. It is also true that following business ethics not only motivate employees but also help them to perform at their level best. The impacts of different ethical issues faced by Proton Car of Malaysia are discussed below:

a. Rights, conflicts and responsibilities:

While Proton car was established in Malaysia, they don't have the skill and technology to run this business swiftly as a result they hired technology and skill from Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. As the technological and knowledge shifted they started to produce on their own effort. This means, Proton Car Corporation is depended on the skill of the labor. So they must give them some rights to motivate them and increase the profitability. As it engaged in global business the necessity for giving the employee rights increased much. Now Proton car have 10,300 employees to cover up its activities.

As over 42% of the equity is held by the Malaysian Government the employees of Proton car enjoy various rights and facilities like others Government employees. Moreover their jobs are secured and they receive proper training form the company. As the agreement, Mitsubishi Motor Corporation was responsible for the construction, training, supervision, preparation for production for all the staff of Proton Car. As a result Proton car send their employees to Japan for receiving all short of training needed by them. And the working environment is safe as to meet the international standard. Mitsubishi Motor Corporation also sends their experts to supervise the employees and ensure the working conditions of the Proton Car.

Ethicalissues have become a significant concern in organizations, especially in recent years. Ethics involves the study of moral issues and choices; concerned with what is right and wrong, bad and good and define what people should do (Kinicki &amp; Kreitner, 2011). One of the problems regarding ethics is organizations and their people don’t always share the same idea about right and wrong and are faced with ethical decisions on a daily basis.
Recent events and highly publicized criminal acts of some CEO’s and other executive officers of United States corporations have placed company behavior on the front page. Some of these corporations include WorldCom, Enron, Adelphia Communications, Computer Associates and Tyco. Executives from all of these companies have been convicted of crimes including fraud, conspiracy, insider training, bank fraud and falsifying records, with jail terms ranging from six to twenty-five years (Kinicki &amp; Kreitner, 2011). In some of these cases, the criminal acts resulted in complete destruction of the company. Due to the acts of these and other executives, high accountability standards and penalties under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are in place in the United States (Kinicki &amp; Kreitner, 2011). Conducting business in an unethical manner can result in...

EthicalIssue in Business - Pfizer, Examined
Pfizer, Inc (Pfizer hereafter) is an international pharmaceutical firm with $45.2 billion in profits in previous years and has an estimated allotment for research and development around $7.9 billion (Pagnattaro, 2005). Currently involved in a legal battle originating from allegations that the company unethically pursued clinical trials in an impoverished nation, which resulted in the death of 11 Nigerian children as well as causing deafness, blindness, and paralysis in many other children puts Pfizer under a microscope of ethical scrutiny. The purpose of this paper is to examine the issues behind the ethics of the clinical trial in Nigeria including what caused the deficiencies in ethical standards, what were the ethical decision-making systems in place at the time of the issue and what roles did management and executives have in the situation. A proposal of a plan on how to avoid the same ethical dilemma from happening again, incorporating both a perspective and psychological approach, becomes the final focus of this paper.

...Ethics can be described as a set of moral principles or the discipline of dealing with what is good and bad. Every individual has their own opinion of what is right and wrong so the subject of ethics is a very controversial one. There are a wide variety of situations in which ethics can be applied. Three of these situations include, human resources dealing discrimination in the workplace, drug testing on animals, and sexual harassment.
“Discrimination is a sociological term referring to the treatment taken toward or against a person of a certain group in consideration based solely on class or category” (Britannica). There are many forms of discrimination in the workplace that human resources have to manage such as issues with men and women in the workplace, and racial discrimination.
Men have become victims of discrimination in the workforce. There are certain careers that are viewed by some people to be “feminine” and men in these professions are generally stereotyped. Nursing and hairstyling are two prime examples of jobs in which males are discriminated against.
The number of female nurses compared to male is significantly different. “Only 5.4 percent of the 2.1 million registered nurses in Canada are men” (Chung). Men do not often pursue this career because of the extra barriers and obstacles they have to overcome to succeed. One example of an obstacle faced by a male nurse is “I was not allowed to enter the delivery room because I was...

Stolen Property
This ethicalissue is that Robert Williams was stealing from Detroit Public Schools. He sees it as ethical to steal $70,000 worth of computer equipment, were as he does not think that is right or wrong; good or bad. The way that I viewed it is wrong and bad because stealing causes problems and it really is an ethicalissue which should be dealt with in an appropriate manner.
Scenario
Back in 2008, a former Detroit Public School employee used the school’s forklift to load $70,000 worth of new computer equipment on a Detroit Public School truck and drove away. Of course this was not recognized for a while, even though he used his employee access card to enter the gated warehouse after business hours and also was recorded by the surveillance cameras. One of the school contractors was able to identify the employee as 49 year old...
